I am really clueless about what the hell these shift codes and what their purpose is. I have yet to encounter anything in the game that prompts me for a shift code.

you open the chest in Sanctuary. its in place where fast travel is at. you get rare items from chest. most time its 2 rare items i am still using 4 of items i got out of chest with 2 on each my guys i have at lv 50

The Golden Key is an item which unlocks the Golden Chest in Sanctuary. This chest contains weapons of purple or magenta rarity, and relics may be blue or purple. All loot is scaled to the character used to open the chest at the time. Golden Keys are single use, impossible to trade, and are not dropped as part of loot in Borderlands 2.

i do not want to mess with game program and do something i should not do. since i will mess with game and not be able to play. also fact that i need someone to show me how to do it. or i will mess it up bad. unless i see in person some explaining it to me. it will get all wrong and not done right.

Started true vault hunter mode with a level 32 siren. No gold keys at all. Haven't got stuck yet but making a repeated trips to the new u station. Wishing I would have finished the you will die....seriously mission right about now.
